[QUOTE="FormerApple, post: 1514466, member: 301571"] I was an employee of Apple Retail for three years (more on that later if you'd like). I know that when I worked there we used to sell Lion or Mountain Lion installs on a flash drive, to reinstall your operating system or something else. Discovered this morning that not only does Apple no longer sell them retail, but they don't even carry them as service parts! At this point I don't expect for there to be a solution (I need both 10.7 and 10.8 on disc, 10.8 is doable 10.7 is not) because I understand that Apple's business model is to blow off anybody who has any issues with their products (because economically, they can). Basically I'm just wondering if anybody has any sort of explanation for why Apple would have pulled this product. Seems low-cost and useful, why would they have done this?? [/QUOTE]
